Fire Marshal working to determine cause of Riverside condo fire

A condo fire at the Frances Court Complex in Riverside ruined four condos and some families have been displaced, the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department said.

There was heavy smoke seen coming from the roof. It appears the fire was on the third floor, officials say.

Filipe Gusmao who escaped the fire, said he heard a woman warning people of the fire. He originally thought the popping noise of the glass exploding, was a shooting.

"I heard a lot of popping and cracking I thought it was a shooting. I heard some screaming,"  Gusmao said.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said they received a call of an explosion at 6:07 a.m. at the complex.

JFRD said no occupants were found on the floor where the fire may have started. No injuries have been reported.
